Two people were injured, including a twelve-year-old boy, in a traffic accident on Wednesday at around 2:45 p.m. on the A9 near Klaus an der Pyhrnbahn (Kirchdorf an der Krems district): A 40-year-old Czech man lost control of his car while driving towards Graz, veered off the road to the right and crashed head-on into the crash barrier at the Klaus exit. The impact was so violent that the car was thrown back and came to a stop across both lanes.

The driver and his 12-year-old son were able to free themselves from the badly damaged car before the car caught fire. Witnesses rushed to help with a fire extinguisher and tried to keep the flames under control until the Micheldorf and Klaus fire departments arrived. The emergency services were able to extinguish the fire quickly. The two occupants of the car were so badly injured that they had to be treated by the emergency doctor and then taken to the Pyhrn Eisenwurzen Clinic in Kirchdorf.
